Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [9 - 10th November 2013]

[ScottehBotteh]

No Lloris

His worst decision was not giving the Ivanovic foul. How he or the linesman missed that one was beyond me. Long should have got his marching orders and the penalty was a toss the coin decision. A the end of the day the draw was a fair result. Play was has improved but we are lacking that final finishing thrust at the moment.

 

[Azza]

Defoe on the bench. AVB is mental.

 

[Fulax]

Spurs: Friedel; Walker, Dawson (c), Chiriches, Vertonghen; Paulinho, Dembele; Townsend, Eriksen, Sigurdsson; Soldado

Newcastle: Krul; Debuchy, Williamson, Yanga-Mbiwa, Santon; Sissoko, Tiote (c), Cabaye, Gouffran; Ameobi, Remy

Shola again. We really need to buy a striker in January.

Lovely morning at the lane

 

[BaZ87]

the penalty was a toss the coin decision.

A double headed coin with heads being not a pen?

That was one of the poorest penalty decisions I've seen in a long time. Reid didn't even attempt to make a challenge, Ramires just dived into him.

HUGE game today.

Man United will win this one. I'm going for 2-1.

As a United fan, I think Arse will win, especially if they want to make a point today.

He's due a goal.

 

[the wopster]

Not looking forward to this, can't remember when we had three good games in a row(manc and Chelsea)

 

[Azza]

AVB just messing with Defoe in this interview.

Someone at Spurs needs a good kicking, Lloris was well enough to play on against Everton but 7 days later and he still needs a couple of days to recover.

Not been watching Bale at Madrid then He alone has had 3 terribad penalties given this year, the last of which was him running into the box, then turning sideways, running like a spaz and throwing himself to the floor, he didn't even have the decency to throw himself into the defender.

Ramires's doesn't even rate compared to some of the stuff in the CL/La Liga I've seen in the past couple months. It was a terrible penalty decision though bet ref's get conned by players falling into others all the time, the biggest difference is the camera angle on that one so perfectly showed who the dive.

I dont agree with the original diagnosis, but its not too much of a shock that with adrenalin pumping he was ok to play on physically, but after his body has calmed down etc he needs a good week + to recover

He should never have been allowed to play on after losing/ regaining conciousness and AVB trying to back up his decision was imo not on at all.

Glad it wasn't just me that thought it was a dodgy decision thought I was going mental

AVB wanted to sub him. it was lloris' decision to play on.

 

[Mr-White]

No Lloris today, was hoping Defoe for Soldado and Lamela would start

Howay Brazil

 

[Fulax]

We're in our Brazil kit, I see.

Predictions for United Arse? 4-2 to Arse? I can't see how our midfield will deal with Ozil et al.
